The Public Works HR Manager works in conjunction with the City's HR Manager and ensures fair and consistent treatment of employees. The City generally follows a progressive approach to discipline, beginning with coaching and counseling the employee, then elevating to oral and written reprimands, suspension, and up to termination. Prior to determining the level of discipline for a particular infraction across the organization, the Public Works HR Manager reviews a print out of discipline issued for similar infractions, in addition to reviewing the performance and discipline history for the individual employee. All supervisors are trained on due process and just cause in a required class. X2004 American Public Works Association Version 5.0 58
